Kiyomizu ware is a type of pottery with a long history, primarily made at the entrance to Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto, Japan—at Gojo-zaka. It is part of Kyo-yaki, and the development of this pottery is closely linked to the tea ceremony, having been widely practiced in the Higashiyama foothills since the early Edo period.

Kiyomizu ware holds an important place in Japanese ceramics due to its unique craftsmanship and beautiful appearance, and continues to attract collectors and enthusiasts from all over the world.
